Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

Introduction to graphical communication in the context of engineering design. Students learn to think and communicate visually. With the use of computer aided design (CAD) tools, students learn the theory and practice of design by dissecting, graphically representing, and redesigning products. Students with credit for MSE 100 or IAT 106 may not take this course for further credit.

REQUIREMENTS:

Late submissions are accepted only up to 48 hours after the deadline and with 25% penalty per day (1 second after the deadline in counted full day).

  • All submissions are due at 10:00 pm
You are allowed to miss up to two assessments (Kahoot quiz, assignment, or lab) with no penalty – this is to allow for life’s unforeseen events.
  • All the missed assessments must be communicated (preferably in advance) with me; otherwise, the assigned mark will be zero.
  • This does not apply to project and term exams; missing those will get you a zero mark.
  • For the missed assessment(s) you will receive your mark from the following similar assessment. If you miss the last assessment in the term, you will receive the average of your grades in the past assessments.
  • If you don’t miss any assessment, the lowest grade from all the course assessments will be dropped for you!

Registrar Notes:

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity website http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the university community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the university. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the university. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html

RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATION

Students with a faith background who may need accommodations during the term are encouraged to assess their needs as soon as possible and review the Multifaith religious accommodations website. The page outlines ways they begin working toward an accommodation and ensure solutions can be reached in a timely fashion.
